Why not set up a separate relay host for your external users and
authenticate them there?
Then route everything over to the MS machine with a smarthost directive, and
whitelist on the IP of the authentication host.

I am not experienced with authenticated SMTP use but wouldn't it be possible
to get the IP-address of the authenticated client somewhere and use a custom
function to whitelist?
